Join us in | 24 | as we discuss the sobering, yet incredibly important topic of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. We are joined by our guest experts Jess Roth and Faith Robinson, members of the anti-human trafficking organization "Out of Darkness."Unfortunately, this manifestation of pure evil occurs hundreds of times a day in every major city throughout the world. As EMS providers, we need to arm ourselves with the assessment tools and the knowledge to provide protection and resources to these women and children. Unfortunately, more than 50% of commercially exploited victims come in to contact with EMS (or other forms of medical providers) everyday, and go undetected. This episode marks the beginning of Medic Class Citizen's relationship with the organization Out of Darkness, and our efforts to support the education and identification to a make a life changing difference for these patients. This episode also provides an introduction to human trafficking so that EMS providers can be more aware, responsive, and engaged with saving the lives of the helpless. www.outofdarkness.orgwww.medicclasscitizen.com/outofdarknessVisit our website to subscribe, and to leave us ideas and feedback!| www.medicclasscitizen.com |Subscribe to and Download the Podcast!| Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google & more... - Socials -Facebook: @medicclasscitizenTwitter: @medic_citizenIG: @medic_class_citizenLinkedIn: Medic Class Citizen
